Raft Mountain

Raft Mountain in east-central British Columbia, just outside Wells Gray Provincial Park, is a group of five summits in the Shuswap Highland, with a highest point of 2,450 metres. Bordered by the Clearwater River, Raft River, Spahats Creek, and North Thompson River, it has broad uplands and ridges used for summer hiking and winter recreation. Its name originated with the Overlanders expedition of 1862, whose members were rafting toward the Cariboo goldfields and named the mountain for their rafts when they reached the mouth of the Clearwater River. The area is reached by forest service roads and trails from both the south and north sides.
